Here is a list of Anna Maria Island drinks to get you relaxed island style! When you are thinking of an Anna Maria Island beach vacation what complements the tropical breezes better than a delicious tropical drink! There are so many to choose from, but these are by far my favorites.

They will complement any palate, occasion or any meal for that matter. I have listed them below with their recipe that anyone can master! Also there are a few places to purchase your favorite liquors right here on the island… Hurricane Liquors or Walgreens Liquor Store. I hope this makes all of your stays on Anna Maria Island a little more relaxing…

Mojito:

You Will Need:

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) freshly squeezed lime juice

2 teaspoons sugar

8 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish

1/4 cup (2 ounces) white rum

1 cup ice

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) club soda

lime slice for garnish

Directions:

Add lime juice, sugar and eight mint leaves to a cocktail shaker. Use the end of a wooden spoon or cocktail muddler to bash (or muddle) the mint into the lime juice and sugar. This releases oils from the mint and helps the sugar dissolve into the lime juice.

Add rum, stir well then pour into a glass filled with ice, leaving about an inch of room then top with club soda. Garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime slice.

Everyone needs to eat and when you are in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island you must stop at Hurricane Hanks Pub & Grub for lunch or dinner. Hurricane Hanks is in the S & S Plaza located at the intersection of Gulf Drive and Marina Drive in Holmes Beach. This island style pub has it all, salads, sandwiches, steaks, seafood, and a full liquor bar, with bartenders who know their drink recipes.
